Modern Slavery policy

It is the policy of Flagstaff Consultants Ltd to conduct all of its business in an honest, transparent and ethical way. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking with our business, or those with whom we partner. We are committed to acting in an ethical way, with integrity in all our business dealings with our candidates and clients alike.

We are committed to ensuring there is transparency throughout our business; within our supply chain and with our recruitment partners, as well as within our supply of staff. We expect the same standards of our recruitment partners and suppliers.
